Not going to say what server, but jeez

If whoever shot me at the airfield last night is here I want you to know it pissed me off so much uninstalled the game and I hope you stub your toe on a Lego.

Its me or in the last days since the update 1.29 was release i have been killed in some weird ways. They rushed to me even im not making any noise. Right now i just spawn and i have already a guy rushing to me. Someone notice the hackers are back? Im have been playing on community servers like spaggies green/blue, karmakrew and clash vanilla.

I am in the Livonia bunker on official right now, and have been logging into it and looting for the past 3 days (twice a day) and have all of the PO-X grenades I need, but I have yet to find one of the guns that are supposed to spawn there. Could this possibly be due to the spawn bug right now where high tier guns are spawning outside of where they are supposed to? Because it’s a low pop server with 6 players so it probably hasn’t been looted from the bunker.

Please if you have a chance... Upvote this on the feedback tracker, and thoroughly read it

So with DayZDiag_x64.exe (The Diagnostic/Debug exe in your game folder) can literally just launch with -XBOX or -PS4 or -MSSTORE launch args and it loads that platform's controller UI. fully working. no bugs, no missing menus, even mod menus like trader UIs just work with a controller automatically. it's literally BAKED into the engine UI/widget system.

so why the hell can't we use it on Steam?

turns out it's not even a controller problem, controller input already works fine on PC. it's purely a UI lockout, you're just stuck with whatever menu matches the platform you launched under. MS Store I get, they can't do launch args so there was never a reason to build a switch for it.... but Steam? Steam has full launch arg support already, it's literally how mods work (-mod=@whatever). there's no excuse.

all they'd need to add is something like a -Controller launch arg and Steam players get the same UI that's already sitting there working perfectly on console. instant win for anyone on Deck/ROG Ally/Legion Go or just playing from the couch.

feels insane this hasn't been touched when it's basically already done. theres more details on the tracker, go upvote if this annoys you as much as it annoys me

Was on spaggies orange server Chernarus and made it a good 8 hrs in on the character. In severograd at night when I hear shots towards kamensk - it's 30 players online. I was planning on going to Kalinovka then taking a turn westward toward polesovo. It's so dark, there is barely any light so I got my brightness up. Upper Kalinovka garages/3 sheds with metal gates. I check the last one and step back out and got one shotted. I did hear a gun sound before I died so assuming a 300+ metre shot. I was not wearing a helmet. I don't think it was a cheater. There are a few bases in Kalinovka/Polesovo - those town I have died 3 times in the last 3 lives. Be careful hehe even at night

Is this lag switching?

i am extremely new to this game, i think i had less than 20 hours when i recorded this.

my friend had loaded in and died almost immediately, so i waited around 5 minutes before i joined. when i finally loaded in i found someone looting my friend's body so i killed him, but when i went to reload my gun i died instantly.

Good morning. I run the server for the PlayStation. I am looking for an individual that is experienced. They would like to join me on a raid of my own server. There really is only two other people that play on it. If you’re interested DM me and we can discuss the details. Thank you.

Does anyone know a rough time of when they are going to fix this loot glitch because I have found 2 scr 17 5 dmrs all in two days and all at nwaf and fir me it is making the game more boring because I do not have to try as much for any thing now

Was up at tisy and got shot at by a duo, on my way out I stumbled across a vehicle and to teach them a lesson I decided to blow up their car. Thanks for the dmr mag and the steak boys x

Hard to come up with a title for this but it's a persistent thought I've been having while playing for the last few months, and it comes from the realisation I guess we all come to eventually. You could literally be tens of metres from another player: over a ridgeline, at the other end of a town, and never see each other or be aware of the other. It's kinda why I love this game. I could be alone, or I could be within 600m of 3 other people, all of us oblivious to the others. I've been the one watching from the woodline, sneaking around is how I prefer to play. Which leads me to my thought, and I can't imagine I'm the only one having considered it.

I would love some kind of way to just spectate a full server.

Now I know there's a whole bunch of issues there with people spotting for their friends actually playing the server. Frankly there's no good way to even approach handling it. That said, I would watch the shit out of this sort of thing. You can fly your camera around the map, able to see a little icon that marked the players, both on a map and hovering in the world. You could just hover over a player, watch how they play, watch what they do, then zoom off to someone else who's having a completely different experience. The main draw would be watching as players start coming together, seeing if they are aware of each other, how they react, seeing the gunfight from above.

I could watch this sort of stuff all day, I'd find it endlessly fascinating. Watching streamers is great, but it's not this spectating random players. It would give insight into where people go, how they play, what they do/don't notice about their surroundings. Is that one player who happens to be alone in their quarter of the map playing as if they're alone, or are they sneaking around worried about every bush, despite nobody being within kilometres of them.

Like I said, there's so many reasons this doesn't work. Friends in discord directing friends, people "spectating" their server to see where people are stashing stuff. It's not practical. I'm not under the delusion this could ever happen at scale. I guess server admins might be able to do this? I'm not sure the sort of stuff admins can do as I've never looked into hosting.

Just a random DayZ wish I know will likely never get fulfilled,and wondering if I'm alone in this.

Edit, for clarity: I'm absolutely not saying this should be a thing, or wanting it to be a thing. I can't overstate in this post how much I know this doesn't work: stashes, streaming locations to players in the server. Quite a few people have replied to say "it's not possible". Politely: I know. This was just a discussion on how interesting people would or wouldn't find it. "I wish this was doable, but it never would be".

Every death is an education. I’m not even pressed. Enjoy the fresh cooked food mate.

Aperantly, for some reason, there is a 5.56 bullet model inside the action of the AK-74.

This what exactly what I’m gonna do when badlands comes out play each map with real life seasons

I usually play official but want to avoid cheaters, im looking for a modded servers that isnt crazy modded. Preferably with highish pop and a good active moderation team, any recommendations?

My friend and I have about 20 hours each on dayz been playing on the Northman server before the wipe. What’s a decent modded server with sleeping bags ? Any help or anybody down to play with us lmk. We suck and are new but love the game. I learned never get mad at a death everything seems to be borrowed .
